Plaka Beach
Πλάκα
A roughly 4 km stretch of white sand backed by dunes and reeds; the quieter southern section is a great place to watch the sunset.
Plaka Beach lies south of Agia Anna. At about 4 km long, it is one of the longest beaches on Naxos's west coast, with fine white sand and turquoise water stretching into the distance. Behind it are dunes, reeds and low-rise guesthouses. Beach bars and sunbeds are found in the northern section, and the further south you go, the quieter it becomes. A southern stretch is tolerated as a naturist area. In summer, buses serve the northern section, and by car you can reach each stretch along sandy tracks. Afternoon winds are common, and in the evening the sun sets toward Paros, making for a beautiful view.
